WPG, the largest distributor of semiconductor components in Asia, posted consolidated sales of NT$11.7 billion (approximately US$362 million) for the month of November 2005, representing a 1% m-o-m and a 23% y-o-y increase respectively. WPG achieved year-to-date sales of NT$105.2 billion (approximately US$3.3 billion), a 27% y-o-y increase over the corresponding period in 2004. Primary sales drivers included sustained demand from Notebook PC, Digital Camera, MP3 and handheld products. With the said sales driving forces continuously advancing, further supported by foreseeable sound demand from multi-media handheld electronics and consumer products, sales of WPG Holdings are expected to trend upward.
Sales of 2 major WPG’s major entities were encouraging. World Peace Group reported consolidated sales of NT$8.8 billion (approximately US$275 million), citing a 2% m-o-m and a 25% y-o-y increase for the month of November 2005 respectively.

SAC Group’s China business volume in August at first time surpassed Taiwan business volume. The Group’s business potentials are envisaged to be heavily encouraged by outperformed Media Tek’s momentum.

Taiwan, 55% from China (incl. HK) and 15% from Asean. Demand from Taiwan and China primarily contributed the growth, signaling WPG’s trending in line with global component consumption focus.
Sales breakdown by product category for the past 11 months was as follows: 43% from core chips (CPU, MPU, chipsets), 32% from standard chips (logic, linear, discrete and ASSP), 16% from memory chips (DRAM, SRAM, Flash, EEPROM), and 9% from others.
